Broccoli-Cheddar Chicken Braid

I love making food that looks pretty! One of the main reasons I chose to make this particular dish is because I thought it would look pretty. And I’m so glad it didn’t disappoint! Believe it or not, this actually turned out REALLY good. It was like a casserole wrapped in crescent rolls.

One of my favorite foods growing up was this broccoli and cheese casserole that my mom made. Oh it was SSOO creamy and cheesy and yummy. It was a special treat that I got to eat at Thanksgiving, on my birthday, and maybe one or two other occasions, like my brother’s birthday because he loved it too! To this day, my mom still makes that same casserole every year on Thanksgiving, knowing her two children would revolt if she were to one day stop making it, and knowing that we will always devour it.

This dish tastes very similar to that casserole I’ve loved for years…with the addition of the buttery crescent roll casing. As you can see, it makes a HUGE braid of food. The recipe said it has 5 servings, but mine came out to be at least 6. I even had to turn it diagonally on my pan because I didn’t have one long enough! Yay for delicious leftovers!
